Hi All - New to Kayak fishing - Prowling around Little manly and Matakatia in my cousins borrowed Aquatix Cobra Tandem - lotsa little fish but not much else except when managed to find myself in middle of a work up - fun (4 keepers in 20 mins - prob could have throw a boot over the side and caught something so no skill there to brag about)

Looking for advice on a kayak - prob a bit faster than the cobra tandem - fishing in shore with a view to crusing around the end of Wellington reef when I get vehicle transport for kayak sorted (roofracks etc)

Also looking to go out with other Kayak fishermen to learn some techniques (I'm only fishing soft baits and lures)

I think I saw you running past our house. Is that you warm up training?

I am also new to kayak fishing and trying different techniques. So far for me bait (squid) and soft bait works best. I started with a small kayak to see if I would like it and have upgraded now to a Viking Reload which is excellent on water, but it is a heavy beast to get onto a car. Arkles Bay is my preferred launch beach so far. If you like we can meet up to exchanges experiences.

Ha Ha....yes if you saw a mildly overweight older chap running after a green Tandem kayak....lol

Softbaiting is working great for me at the moment. - about to setup with sliders aswell - also looking at trolling some lures for kingi's and kawahai.
